Holy shit, it must've been a massive kick. accident or not, normally you'd hope the instigator is made well aware of the consequences of his actions - but on the flip side, kids can be cruel so is it something others really need to know?

It was just a freak accident, I'm more annoyed that the surgeon opted out of relieving it the day it happened, the poor lad just couldn't even walk anymore.

Sorry to hear LM, hope your boy gets through it all ok mate

He's feeling sore this morning but he said it's nothing compared to what he was going through late last week, he couldn't even walk in the end.

I think I'm more upset than he is.

Best wishes to your lad, LM.

Yeah all the best LM.
Never good seeing your kids like that.

Gut wrenching, I don't care how hurt or injured I've been, I can tolerate that, I can't bear to see my kids hurt though, I literally feel their pain.

All the best LM

Thoughts are with you and your lad, LM.

Any update LM? Did it all go ok?

Yeah, it went as well as it can I guess, it's still just a horrible thought that makes my eyes water when I think about it.

As I said before, he's sore from the op but what he was going through last week was excruciating, he's able to walk now (he wasn't able to yesterday).

His mum was there with him and I'll be doing next shift when I finish work, I didn't want to be here today but needed to keep my mind occupied.

safooty as an outlet for discussion helped immensely, trying to talk to people in person has been putting a huge lump in my throat so I just wanted to sit at my desk, shut up and do my job.

I sincerely thank you all today.

That's what internet friends are for

Hey mate, glad the young fella is on the mend... had a mate at school 30 or so years ago have the same thing happen...

Playing soccer on the oval at lunch, hes run up to the goalie who had the ball and the GK has just dropped him with a knee to the knackers....

We had to carry him to the sick bay and they called an ambulance, he had his aggot removed a couple of days later...

He was in a.really bad way and missed a heap of school that term...

Had no effect on him after the healing, he played soccer for Adelaide City in the NSL and then Perth Glory...

Nasty business though... nasty

Brad Hassell or Robert Zabica?

A mate of mine from school had the same op in high school.
We were downhill mountain biking on Black Hill and he came off and landed on a log split legged.
His nickname after that was BIC or biro cos he was a uniball
Has 6 kids now so no adverse effects it would seem!

Thanks mate, I really needed to hear something like that.
I’m gonna put money aside each month to hopefully save enough for a prosthetic by the time he’s gonna need it for obvious reasons.

Is it like a kidney? The remaining one grows a little bigger as it has to do all the work......
